Reflections on Armistice Day

Reflections on Armistice Day

What we now celebrate as Veterans' Day was once called Armistice Day, that day in 1917 when "the War to End All Wars" was concluded.

November 11th is the anniversary of the Armistice - the moment at the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day when the guns stopped, signaling the end of World War I. It's hard to believe that it has been one hundred years since that day.

Would that all wars had ended that Armistice Day, but another, bloodier conflict ensued with the rise of Nazism. The human toll of that war exceeded that of World War I and included six million innocent people who were slain simply because of their religion. 

This is also the 100-year anniversary of Communism, one of the most lethal regimes known to man. A leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Nikita Khrushchev, once said regarding AMERICA and her freedoms, "We will bury you."

If our people do not know and value their heritage, his prophesy may come to pass. Besides Communism that wants to bury freedom, there is also a religion, touted as a "religion of peace," whose intent is to subject the entire earth and all its people to its tenets.  

Both Communism and Islam are totally incompatible with the concept of individual freedom and personal responsibility. Both submerge the individual under the domination of the state, whether the Communist state or the Sharia state.

People who were born free should not be willing to subject themselves to dictatorial governance under any guise. People who were born free must choose the freedom that was bequeathed to them by the blood of countless fallen soldiers and by the blood of the ONE SINLESS LAMB.

May GOD continue to bless the United States of America as the United States of America turns back with a full heart to the LORD who has allowed this nation to shine like a city on a hill, reflecting HIS glory.
